Chapter 1 - System Description Introducing BreezeACCESS 900 BreezeACCESS 900 system allows operators that provide IP services using BreezeACCESS II to extend the reach of their system and provide services to clusters of customers that cannot otherwise be reached due to being obstructed by heavy foliage or other obstacles. Operators can benefit from the advantage of operating locally in the 900 MHz band, being able to provide services to customers within a radius of half a mile in non line of sight environments with heavy foliage. BreezeACCESS 900 system includes the following components:  Cell Extension Equipment (CX): Provides the interface between the local system operating in the 900 MHz band and the primary system operating in the 2.4 GHz band.  Subscriber Units (CPE): BreezeACCESS Subscriber Units operating in the 900 MHz band. Alvarion also offers to its customers a special spectrum analysis tool to enable optimal selection of frequencies and antenna polarization in the heavily crowded 900 MHz band. For information on this tool, refer to the Breeze Access Spectrum Analyzer User’s Guide. BreezeACCESSS 900 System Manual 1-2
Cell Extender Cell Extender The Cell Extender operates as an Access and Subscriber Unit that are connected back-to-back. The Subscriber Unit component operated in the 2.4 GHz band and provides connectivity to the primary BreezeACCESS II base station. The Access Unit component operates in the 900 MHz band and serves the Subscriber Units located in the area covered by the Cell Extender. The CX-2.4-900 Cell Extender is comprised of an Interface Unit, a 2.4 GHz Radio Unit and a 900 MHz antenna. The Interface Unit includes the interface (indoor) unit of a BreezeACCESS II Subscriber Unit and a BreezeACCESS 900 Access Unit. These two units are connected to each other via a hub module. It provides an interface for an optional local Ethernet connection and is powered from the mains (110/220VAC). The SU-RA-2.4 radio unit of the Subscriber Unit component incorporates the radio module and an integrated flat antenna. The Interface Unit is connected to the 2.4 GHz Radio Unit via a 50ohm coaxial Intermediate Frequency (IF) cable. This cable carries 440 MHz IF signals between the Interface Unit and the Radio Unit. In addition, this cable transfers power (12 VDC) and control signals from the Interface Unit to the Radio Unit. The AU-900 Access Unit connects to an external antenna. Both BreezeACCESS equipment in both the 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz bands operate in Time Division Duplex (TDD) mode. It employs wireless packet data switching technology, using Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) radios. Manual Revision 1.0 - Preliminary 1-3

Chapter 2 - Installation IF Cable The SU-RA-2.4 Radio Unit is connected to the Interface Unit via an IF cable carrying both signals and power. The IF frequency is 440 MHz. The maximum permitted attenuation of the IF cable is 15dB at 440 MHz and the maximum permitted DC resistance (the sum of the DC resistance of the inner and outer conductors) is 1.5 ohms. This enables a cable length of up to 30m when using the standard RG 58 cable. If longer cables are required, a cable with lower attenuation and/or DC resistance should be used. Table 2-1Table 2-1: IF Cables Cable Type RG 58 RG 213 LMR 200 LMR 240 LMR 400 Maximum Cable Length (m) 30 100 45 65 150 provides detailed information about common cables such as the RG 58 and RG 213. If the spectral environment is polluted with noise in the 440 MHz band, it is recommended that a higher quality double-shielded cable, such as the LMR 200, LMR 240 and LMR 400, be used.

A Wall/Roof Mounting Arm (P/N 872442 is available from Alvarion. BreezeACCESSS 900 System Manual 2-14
Installing the SU-I Subscriber Unit Installation Guidelines This section describes the installation guidelines and the various considerations that must be taken into account when planning the installation. Location of the Unit  The unit can be placed on a desktop or a shelf, or can be attached to a wall.  The unit should be installed as near as possible to the antenna. The RF cable connecting the unit to the antenna should be as short as possible to guarantee minimum power loss.  The location of the Subscriber Unit should take into account its connection to a power outlet and the user’s data equipment.  Keep the units well away from sources of heat, such as radiators, air-conditioners, etc. Location of the Antenna  The antenna should be pole mounted on the roof-top or on a side wall. It should be installed where it can be directed towards the location of the Cell Extender. Any physical object in the path between the unit and the Cell Extender should be avoided. Any buildings or other physical structure such as hills or other natural geographic features higher than the antenna and situated in the path between the two sites can constitute obstructions. WARNING It is the responsibility of the professional installer to ensure that when using the outdoor antenna kit, that only this antenna provided with the subscriber unit is used along with the minimum cable lengths provided. The use of any antenna other than those listed is expressly forbidden in accordance to FCC rules CFR47 part 15.204. Antenna Polarization Antenna polarization must be the same at both ends of the link. The antenna can be mounted to provide either vertical or horizontal polarization. To verify polarization of the antenna, refer to the mounting instructions in Appendix B. Manual Revision 1.0 - Preliminary 2-15
Chapter 2 - Installation Antenna Seal The antenna connectors as well as other outdoors RF connections must be sealed against rain. Lightning Protection Lightning protection is designed to protect people, property and equipment by providing a path to ground for the lightning’s energy. The lightning arrestor diverts the strike energy to the ground along a deliberate and controlled path instead of allowing it to choose a random path. Lightning protection for a building is more forgiving than protection of electronic devices. A building can withstand up to 100,000 volts, but electronic equipment may be damaged by just a few volts. Lightning protection entails connecting an antenna discharge unit (also called an arrestor) to each cable as close as possible to the point where it enters the building. It also entails proper grounding of the arrestors and of the antenna mast (if the antenna is connected to one). The lightning arrestor should be installed and grounded at the point where the cable enters the building. The arrestor is connected to the unit at one end and to the antenna at the other end. The professional installer you choose must be knowledgeable about lightning protection. The installer must install the lightning protector in a way that maximizes lightning protection. A Lightning and Grounding installation kit is available from Alvarion. WARNING ONLY experienced installation professionals who are familiar with local building and safety codes and, wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government regulatory authorities should install outdoor units and antennas. Failure to do so may void the BreezeACCESS product warranty and may expose the end user or Service Provider to legal and financial liabilities.

Aligning the Cell Extender’s SU-RA Antenna Aligning the Cell Extender’s SU-RA Antenna The SNR bar display is located on the bottom panel of the SU-RA. The eight green LEDs are used for indicating the quality of the received signal. The higher the number of green LEDs indicating On, the higher the quality of the received signal. This section describes how to align the SU-RA antenna using the SNR bar display. NOTE Antenna alignment using the SNR bar display is possible only after the SU is associated with an Access Unit. The associated Access Unit must be operational and the basic SU’s parameters must be correctly configured. If not, the unit will not be able to synchronize with the Access Unit. As the SNR measurement is performed on received frames, its results are meaningless unless the SU is associated with an Access Unit. To align the SU-RA antenna: 1. Align the antenna, which is integrated into the front side of the SU-RA unit, by pointing it in the general direction of the Base Station. 2. Verify that the power indication of the unit is On. 3. Verify that the WLNK LED of the unit is On, indicating that the unit is associated with an Access Unit. If the WLNK LED is Off, check that the basic parameters are correctly configured. If the unit is still not associated with the AU, improve the quality of the link by changing the direction of the antenna or by placing the antenna at a higher or alternate location. 4. Rotate the antenna until the maximum SNR reading is achieved, where at least 1 green LED is on: If you encounter prolonged difficulty in illuminating the minimum required number of green LEDs, try to improve the reception quality by placing the antenna at a higher point or in an alternate location. 5. Secure the unit firmly to the pole. NOTE If you are having difficulties in obtaining a good RSSI, since the RSSI bar indicator is not precise, it is recommended that you use the Continuous Link Quality Display test for more precise alignment of the antenna.

Aligning the SU-I Subscriber Unit’s Antenna Aligning the SU-I Subscriber Unit’s Antenna For antenna alignment, you can use either the 3 Signal Quality LED indicators on the front panel of the SU-I or view the Received Signal Strength Indication in the Site Survey menu. Typically, alignment using the Signal Quality LEDs is sufficient. This section describes how to align the SU-RA antenna using the Signal Quality LEDs. NOTE Antenna alignment using the Signal Quality LEDs is possible only after the SU is associated with a Cell Extender’s AU. The Cell Extender’s AU must be operational and the basic SU’s parameters must be correctly configured. If not, the unit will not be able to synchronize with the Cell Extender’s AU. As the SNR measurement is performed on received frames, its results are meaningless unless the SU is associated with a Cell Extender’s AU. To align the antenna of the SU: 1. Align the antenna by pointing it in the general direction of the Cell Extender. 2. Verify that the power indication of the unit is On. 3. Verify that the WLNK LED of the unit is On, indicating that the unit is associated with an Access Unit. If the WLNK LED is Off, check that the basic parameters are correctly configured. If the unit is still not associated with the Cell Extender’s AU, improve the quality of the link by changing the direction of the antenna or by placing the antenna at a higher or alternate location. 4. Check the SIGNAL QUALITY L, M and H LEDs. The higher the number of LEDs that are on, the better the quality of the link. Rotate the antenna left and/or right until you reach the point of highest signal quality reading on the SIGNAL QUALITY LEDs. For proper operation, at least one (L) LED should be on. If this is not possible, improve the link quality by placing the antenna at a higher point or in an alternate location. 5. Secure the antenna firmly to the pole.

Enter a list of the required sub-bands and/or frequencies, using either sub-bands (f1-f2) or discrete frequencies, e.g. 904-910,915,919-925. use a comma to separate between entries, do not use spaces. The usable center frequencies are from 904 to 926, using a 1 MHz resolution (904, 905, 906,…926). However, the channel spacing, which is the minimum distance between two consecutive frequencies, is 2 MHz. Thus, for example, the sequence 904,905 is not a valid entry because the distance between frequencies is less than 2 MHz, and it will be rejected. When entering discrete frequencies, the actual center frequencies are defined. When entering a sub-ban, a guard band of 1 MHz on both sides is included, which means that the sub-band entries can start at 903 and end at 927. Defining for example the sub-band 903-909 will result in selecting the frequencies 904, 906, 908. The same set of frequencies (904, 906, 908) will be selected also if the defined sub band is 903-910. Defining the sequence 904-910,915,919-927 will result in selecting the frequencies 905, 907, 909, 915, 920, 922, 924 and 926. The new selected set of frequencies (frequencies to be used) will become effective only after the next reset. Scrambling Definition The Scrambling Definition menu enables defining the method of organizing the selected frequencies to form the actual hopping sequence to be used. Proper organization of the hopping sequence is essential to guarantee minimal cross interference among several neighboring cells that use the same sequence with different Hopping Shift values. Scrambling Mode Manual Revision D-3 Defines the scrambling mode. The following options are available:
Appendix D - Configuring Hopping Frequencies and Operational Sequences Standard Scrambling This mode is not recommended for sequences with 7 or more channels. The scrambled basic sequences for 3 to 6 frequencies when using Standard Scrambling are: Table D-1: Basic Sequences using Standard Scrambling N (number of channels) Scrambled Basic Sequence (channel indexes) 3 1, 3, 2 4 1, 3, 2, 4 5 1, 3, 5, 2, 4 6 1, 3, 5, 2, 6, 4 Frequency 1 (index=1) is the lowest frequency in the list of frequencies to be used, frequency 2 is the next frequency and so on. Manual Scrambling For customized definition of the hopping sequence, using the Manual Sequence Definition option (see below). Enhanced Scrambling Automatically generates hopping sequences using an enhanced algorithm. It is recommended that Enhanced Scrambling rather then Standard Scrambling be used. If the Enhanced Scrambling Mode is selected, the Spanning Factor parameter (see below) must be configured in the AU. The Enhanced Mode is not suitable for sequences with 6 or less frequencies. If Enhanced Scrambling is selected with sequences that have 6 or less frequencies, than Standard Scrambling is used by default. The scrambled sequence is generated according to the following rules: 1. The first channel in the basic scrambled sequence is frequency 1 (Frequency 1 (index=1) is the lowest frequency in the list of frequencies to be used, frequency 2 is the next frequency and so on.) 2. The index of each of the other channels is calculated by adding the Spanning Factor to the index of the previous channel. Note that the sequence is cyclic, meaning that adding 1 to the highest index in the sequence (Index=N where N is the number of channels in the sequence) will result in the first channel (Index=1). BreezeACCESSS 900 System Manual D-4
Flexible Hopping Definition Mode The scrambled basic sequence can also be calculated using the formula: Px (j)= {[(j-1)*X]mod(N)}+1 Where: X is the Spanning Factor N is the number of channels in the sequence (modulus) J is the sequence index Example: N=8, X=3 P1(5)={[(1-1)*3}mod8}+1=1 P2(5)={[(2-1)*3}mod8}+1=6 od8}+1=5 od8}+1=2 P7(5)={[(7-1)*3}mod8}+1=7 P8(5)={[(8-1)*3}mod8}+1=4 And the basic scrambled sequence is: 1, 4, 7, 2, 5, 8, 3, 6. Manual Sequence Definition Manually defines the hopping sequence, using numbered channel indexes (from 1 to “Number of Hopping Frequencies”). The sequence length must be equal to “Number of Hopping Frequencies” (all the defined frequencies must be used). Erase Manual Sequence Erases the manually defined hopping sequence. Spanning Factor (AU only) Defines the Spanning Factor to be used by the Enhanced Scrambling mechanism. The Spanning Factor should be chosen so that the GCD (Greater Common Divisor) of the Spanning Factor and the Number of Hopping Frequencies would be 1 (e.g. for 8 frequencies possible values for the Spanning Factor are 1, 3, 5 and 7). The SU learns the value of the Spanning Factor from the AU during the association process. Use of different spanning factors by non-synchronized neighboring base stations reduces the probability of interference between adjacent sectors.

Appendix D - Configuring Hopping Frequencies and Operational Sequences Valid values: 1 to Number of Hopping Frequencies minus 1, provmeets the GCD requirement as described above. ided it It is not recommended to use spanning factors of 1 and N-1, as they in hopping on consecutive channel (assuming that the available channels are consecutive). In these cases the advantage of using factors of 2 and N-2 also result in a relatively poor spread of the hopping frequencies over the Default Value: 1 result frequency hopping is not fully utilized, since narrow band interference may affect several consecutive hops.

If the Scrambling Mode of the AU is erent from the one confiociation process the SUNO Dur e Spadiff gured for the SU, than after completing the ass will use the Scrambling Mode of the AU.
